But he considered that the. guarantees OF tine
Constitution as framed in 1877 were not
sufficient as regards the right of the States.
He did more than any other man to secure
the additional articles of the Constitution
against the powers of the Federal govern

his personal rights; and yet the people of
Virginia, as have said before, did not hest
tate to continue him in the Executive chair
at time when the people were most jealous

which have myself reached with regard to
this present contest and | am satisfied that
the people, who are to be the judges, and

che rate Of taxation from 1877 to 1879
varied from fourteen to eleven mills, five and
half mills Of which was set aside to pay the
interest on the bonded debt, yet with this ex-
cessive, taxation the State defaulted on inter
eat and created large floating debt.
The expenses of the State government in
1873 amounted to, say, $3.50, 900, and the
present expenses OF the State government
to $4,000 These amounts include al
necessary expenses for the State government
including, of course, the il dietary, etc
The State tax now for all purposes is six
mills or sixty cents M the 800. The lowest
rate reached prior to 1880 was eleven mills,
or 81 10 in the 500.
Before the year 1850. for the general ex-
penSes of the government the appropIia-
tons exceeded the revenue for that purpose
Since then the general expenses OF the gov
eminent have always been within the est-
mated revenues appropriated for this pur-
pose.
The taxes, uneollected, Jan. 1, 1880, of
1877, 1878. 1879, amounted to 81, OOO,-
900. This has come rs an onerous burden
from the administration Of that date, and so
has outstanding coupons, exclusive of No

outstanding on the list January, 1880, to
the amount OF S654, $40 90.
There are outstanding warrants. exclusive
of those funded into baby bonds, of the years
1S77-1S79. amounting to $4,000 There
was no forced sale of property, and no at
tempt made to collect delinquent taxes of
1S77-7S. Since the year 1850 we have
been called upon to pay out of the one mill
general fund tax for the support of the State
government debts upprovided FOR IST7-79
amounting to 1921, 600.
We have paid also s1S4, 900, amount Dor

No. rs Of 1850 to carry ont constitu-
tional ordinance, and also .s35, 233 80 for
printer and money borrowed from the Fiscal
Agent, which ought to have come out of the
revenues of 1879, but which have been paid
out OF the revenues of 1880. The baby

since $50, but as follows:

The commissioner says Of the lands selected
tina. about &C, 900 acres are within the granted

DISA,TER AT LAKE MANAWA.

During the storm last night Lake Manawa
was the scene OF a steamboat disaster. Dur.
ing the evening the shores OF the lake were
lined with excursionists, but q storm sud.
denly arising about half past eight, the
crowds rushed panic-stricken on board the
steamboats,. The scene was indeed ore TO
strike terror to the hearts II the timid. The
deep darkness Of the night ia lit by the
occasional lightning fash only 70 chow the
usually PLACID LAKE lashed into a foaming
fury. Meanwhile he rain poured IN tor.
rents. All the excursionists got safely
on board the steamboats,, and the boats started
to cross the lake TO the north side where the
hotel is situated All the boats crossed safely
except the steamer ''Manawa.n While the
passengers were getting on board this boat
on the south side OF the lake, IT was dashed
aga!nst the landing and q hole was crushed In
her side into which the water rushed. The
effect Of the accident was not noticed uuti
the boat was about he middle OF the lake,
when it was suddenly discovered she WAS sink
ing. Taking into consideration the rough
OF the lake and the
peril OF those on board, there was
naturally much confusion. The scene is

distress from the wrecKed boat were heard by
the people on shore, who lent a ready help,
and all but four were rescued from the wreck.
These four, despite all Efforts to save them,
sank to the bottom OF the lake. At least 1t
was &C reported at | o'clock this morning.
One OF the persons reported lost is Isssc New
ma /, o. this city. NJ blame was attached to
anyone for the terrible accident. The sud len
storm, the darkness Of the night, and the
hurry to cross the lake, are the trio Of circum
stances that favored the disaster .-Onaha
